You are the prey, but who is the bird?
The market value of the officially-announced total of US gold reserves based on the London Gold Fixing as of September 30, 2020, was $493.4 billion:

Considering the official government debt of over $31 trillion, that is small change, and the picture gets even worse, when unsecured government liabilities at the federal and the state levels are also counted, at which point the debt can easily exceed $200 trillion.
While US gold reserves can cover 1/60th of the official debt, in an inflationary spiral, it would not do more good than taking a leak on a house fire. You can easily compare the potential impact of gold reserves on government debts for other countries, too, and the outcome is the same:

According to some calculations, the gold is not even around anymore, at least not all of it:

The short conclusion is: it doesn’t matter if it’s there or not.
Still, I remember that around 1978, there must have been a major cleanup at Ft. Knox, because they found the crown of Hungary in the bottom of a casket of WW2 loot, and the crown was politely returned into the possession of Hungary*. Oh, boy, they must have cleaned up the place real good, if even that trinket was found, as the official story went, “by accident.”
And the worst part is still unknown to most:
Who owns America’s gold?
In the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, a private bank, the Federal Reserve, was granted the exclusive right of issuing the USD in the form of public debt, after which the US taxpayer has to pay an interest, which is why the collection agency, the IRS, was founded at the same time, when financial power voted away by Congress to a criminal enterprise. Recently, the “debt” (mostly due to clandestine budgets and partly to irresponsible fiscal policies) ballooned over the amount that the country’s total tax revenue cannot even cover the interests.
In the meanwhile, the collateral for the Federal Reserve’s “loan” (which is basically the greatest heist in history) includes the land, the resources, the citizenry’s assets, labor, and lives and limbs**. The gold reserves, of course, are included as a bonus. The Fed surely keeps count of its booty:

The problem with the minuscule amount of gold reserves and exclusivity of their ownership (usually by “central banks,” out of which about 160 are controlled by the globalist bankers) around the world is an indicator of the ongoing controlled demolition of the global economy and, as such, it is unlikely to go away before the CBDCs are forced on the masses that, after that, will truly “own nothing.” I alerted my readers to the it already on July 19, 2021, but at this point, I can reach a lot more of them:

Here are some of the latest developments:
*Hungary tripled its gold reserves in mid-2020 from three tons to 94.5 tons, which is an extremely respectable amount for a country of nine million inhabitants:

The Polish and the Czech government did the same at the same time, indicating that these governments were preparing for the global economic collapse.
**Since the mid 1990s, your money in the bank is not yours anymore, but it constitutes an unsecured loan by you to the bank. The FDIC can cover about 50 cents on each 100 dollars, if all banks become insolvent (a few Stock Market speculations can do the job in a jiffy), which must happen in order to make sure the CBDC will have to be introduced.
New Zealand and Canada, both zero gold reserves. Globalist apparatchiks?
Banks are insolvent as a given.
If you check out Merrill Lynch on the UK company database it's a hoot. One company that just a a few months before gave its "shareholders" a nice dividend quietly gets demoted to letters (i.e. ML2 Ltd). In the meantime its Balance Sheet in old and new company (now called Merrill Lynch) is completely bogus. But the "shareholders" (who have magically appeared whole in the new company) still get their dividends despite looking as if they own nothing practically.
